Description: VINTAGE SAMPLE MINI RED BRICK PAPERWEIGHT " DONT SPIT ON THE SIDEWALK " WARNING . Because of the potential of the spread of disease there was a campaign push to get citizens to refrain from spitting on the sidewalks...... the push was made by Dr. Samuel Jay Crumbine of Dodge City, one of the nation's leaders in the field of public health. He became secretary of the Kansas State Board of Health in 1904 and served for approximately 20 years. His public health campaigns were directed at practices and conditions that led to the spread of communicable diseases. His campaign against houseflies urged screening windows and doors and used the slogan, "Swat the Fly." Other targets of his campaigns were the common drinking cup or dipper and the exposed roller towel, often used on railroad trains and in other public areas. His success in this area was illustrated by the adoption of disposable paper cups and towels. Crumbine also warned against misleading labels on food and drugs. ****One of Dr. Crumbine's best know campaigns was associated with the slogan Don't Spit On Sidewalk. He was concerned that the habit spread disease and tuberculosis. He was so convincing that brick manufacturers produced bricks with this slogan imprinted on them. These bricks can occasionally be found in the few brick sidewalks still remaining i Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
